Cerebral metabolism in severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

Pediatrics
Floris GroenendaalLinda S de Vries

Abstract

The metabolism of the basal ganglia was examined by using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in 5 neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia. A decreased N-acetylaspartate/choline ratio, indicating neuronal injury, and an abnormally high lactate/N-acetylaspartate ratio were found only in the neonate with neonatal magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities and subsequent cerebral palsy.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
